Budget king midrange? FaitalPro 4FE35 review (RTA, distorsion)

[@Mark_5150]

You got a good deal on those, Part-Express has them for $34 each. Cool review, thanks

[@theloudspeakernerd-tlsn9322]

Faital speakers were widely used in European CRT tvs. One of the reasons why they sounded so good!

[@RAW-CAt]

That is very cool to hear, thanks for the info!😉

[@carmaniac13]

Another budget pro driver that may be worth checking out is the LaVoce FSN041.00. I bought a pair to use in my car but haven't installed them yet. I took a hard look at this Faital and the LaVoce and decided on the LaVoce.

[@elviscaragea4433]

did you install them?

[@elviscaragea4433]

i am looking for something that plays good in a 0.3l sealed enclosure, i was thinking about some peerless

[@carmaniac13]

@@elviscaragea4433 unfortunately life has gotten in the way and I have not installed them yet.

[@mrglabs4778]

I use the 3fe25 in many applications. It’s very nice as well.

[@dwdrum11]

Did you and Peter from PS sound good to the same school of audio? Similar skill sets and great honest advice

[@RAW-CAt]

Unlike Peter, I didn't go to "school for audio", I am not a professional and I am not claiming to be one. I learned all of what I know in the last 3 years or so.

[@hifiman4562]

I'm using the GR Research LGK 3" drivers in my SUV. Stunning sound. Easily can run all the way to 20k. My hearing is only good to 15k anyways.

[@harrykaradimas857]

Great review thanks !

[@chriscuthbertson]

Just ordered a pair of the 3" to run in my a pillar pods, gonna try them without tweeters and see how I like them.

[@chriscuthbertson]

Planning on running then with a set of Focal iSub Twins under the front seats and a sub in the boot. They are going in a really small car, so don't need a lot of SPL

[@drrckhamilton]

Do you know the model number of the 3"? There are so many models that I want to make sure that I am looking at the right one. Thanks

[@chriscuthbertson]

@@drrckhamilton I went with the 4Ohm 3FE25, there specs looks very similar to the 4FE35, the Fs is only slightly higher at 110hz with the same 91db sensitivity. Got them for £11 each brand new.

[@drrckhamilton]

@@chriscuthbertson Oh ok. That is the one that I was looking at but I wasn't sure. Thank you much.

[@dwightcotino4792]

Check the 3fe22 Neo They play amazing

[@elviscaragea4433]

Should i use them in dors using the dor as infinite baffle(midbass in other location) or should i get the neo version with much lower q and use them in a small sealed enclosure? What do you say. There is 4 versions of this driver, all with different qts, that gives you a qtc of 0.7, from a 3l box to higher than 300l. The one with a qtc of 0.8 looks great in a box around 20-30 liters(a dor). Thank you ❤

[@dwightcotino4792]

I'm playing the 3fe22 you should check that out too

[@neilziesmer6109]

THATS A GOOD FIND. WISH THEY WOULD FIT MY APPLICATION IN MY PILLARS BUT I WOULD HAVE TO REMAKE FIBERGLASS ENCLOSURES.

[@RAW-CAt]

These are surprisingly compact for a 4in.

[@neilziesmer6109]

I WISH I COULD SEND PICS , BUT THE 4 OUTSIDE OF CIRCLE MOUNTING PATTERN IS WHY I WOULD REMAKE PILLARS IM RUNNING DAYTON RS 100 WIDEBANDS AND THEY ARE JUST OK FOR NOW.

[@Shalmaneser1]

Challenge: refresh/upgrade speakers for Lexus GX470 with Mark Levinson audio. Speakers only.

[@colbydolby6559]

I have a spot for those!

[@rts100x5]

damn those Satori $$$ ...

[@robgochez4062]

Im looking to use the faital pros on my audi as mid range speakers, pair up with the factory B&O system. Do you think these will be too bright?.. im looking for sound quality not loudness

[@RAW-CAt]

Without EQ they might be bright. That depends on the aiming as well. Off axis they should be fine.

[@robgochez4062]

​@RAW-CAt thanks for the response

[@mindaugasdanilevicius4167]

Labas. Labai idomus video pranesimas. Klausima turiu. Su kokiais midbosais ir auktadazniais sie viduriukai automobilineje trijuosteje sistemoje grotu ir deretu geriausiai? Gali buti keli variantai. ACIU.

[@RAW-CAt]

Priklausomai, kur instaliuosi. Aš nesu toks žmogus, kuris girdi skirtingus garsiukų "skambesius", po derinimo visi garsiukai skamba beveik vienodai🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AlexesKarakostopoulos]

Faital Pro control program they have

[@rts100x5]

question . have you ever tried to use acoustic absorbers on the dash to help with reflection ?

[@RAW-CAt]

No, for some reason my dash doesn't seem to affect much🤷🏻‍♂️ May be different if you have drivers in A pillars.

[@Dirtyhealz]

Question: when you did your dash build, do you recon you could also fit 6.5" instead of those mids without sacrificing the vents? Is there enough space?

[@RAW-CAt]

I could fit 8s if I wanted😁 Plenty of space. For depth I could built up.

[@Dirtyhealz]

@nerijuskochanskas7349 thanks for the reply, I'm after a 2nd car and have found a 2015 insignia for a great price.. from your experience would you consider the insignia a decent platform for a fairly high end audio build or would you recommend a different car in this price range? (6000-8000£)

[@RAW-CAt]

@@Dirtyhealz have you seen the Insignia that Peter from PS Sound made? I think Insig ias are great - big dash, spacious boot. The only problems is the kicks, very tight but manageble.

[@Dirtyhealz]

@@RAW-CAt I have seen it indeed. The build I have in mind for this insignia is Micro Precision 7.16 6.5" as midrange on the dash, 7.28 tweeters on A pillars, Dayton 10" slim in the passenger foot well sealed, Micro Precision 5 series mids as differential rear fill in C pillars and single 15" in true IB in the wheel well. I already have all the equipment, just trying to make sure I choose a decent car to put them on ^^

[@sai_pan_shop]

Price

[@mrglabs4778]

Where’d you find them that cheap?

[@RAW-CAt]

eBay🤷🏻‍♂️
